Contracting Overseas

The Issues 
More and more individuals are taking advantage of the number of contract opportunities available overseas. When undertaking an overseas contract a number of special issues have to be considered, and the questions of exactly where you are going, and for how long become critical. It is important to work out where you will be resident for tax and local tax knowledge must be obtained and correct procedures must be followed if unnecessary penalties are to be avoided. 

The Service 
OSK will advise you on the best structure to use for your overseas contract. We will look in particular at the following areas:

• Whether or not you will remain in the Irish tax system and we will advise on the steps that need to be taken to become, and remain, non-resident in Ireland.
• If your contract is for a relatively short period of time we will advise on the reliefs and allowances that you may claim to reduce your Irish tax liability. 
• We will advise you on the timing of your departure and your return to Ireland as this can have a significant impact on your overall liability to tax.
• Through our international network we can refer you to our business partners abroad.
